The time I have taken in the field of tourism in Africa, I have tasted much of international foods and almost all African food in every country in Africa. But believe me or not, Uganda has the best food as far as a balanced diet is concerned. Fried food is everywhere you go but I don't know why I have not liked these flied foods. I don't say this because I'm much traditional but in real sense, I like Ugandan food. You can make your own enquiry to who ever has been in Uganda for more than a year and may be you will support me on this.

Uganda food is ever fresh because Uganda gets rainfall through the year and the soils are so fertile to the extent that any food you have ever thought of is grown in this pearl of Africa. May be that is on of the reasons Uganda is called the pearl of Africa. All international hotels in Uganda have Ugandan dishes on their menu, so when you visit, don't forget to ask for Uganda food dishes

Uganda grow both annual and perennial crops ,which means that those times when rain fall is low , people will have some perennial crops which are resistant to drought. The best example of such food crop is Banana plants .Every family in Uganda has at least a small plantation of banana plants. This means that they can eat and reserve some for market.

If you have never heard of it, get it from me now,'.more than ¼ of Uganda is covered by water .Uganda has more than 30 lakes with lake Victoria one of the biggest Lakes in the world. This means that every corner of Uganda has access to water foods especially fish. If you have never tasted the tropical African fresh fish, then Uganda is the country to come to.

Drinks:

When it comes to beverages, Uganda has it all. Both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages are found in Uganda. For those who would like to taste Uganda's beer, Uganda breweries in Kampala and Nile breweries at the source of the Nile, will make your day with their beer varieties. For those who are not allowed to take alcoholic drinks Uganda caters for you too. Coca-Cola and Pepsi cola factories are the top of non alcoholic makers of those dinks. But other small factories are also competing with the big two.

Do you want to taste the traditional beverages? Take heart''''.you know Uganda, is composed of many tribes and for that matter every tribe has it traditional drink. If you go deep in the villages in a place like Kabale district of southwest Uganda and you ask for water to drink, people especially old men and women will laugh at you. For them to take water is like a punishment. And if you want to test Uganda traditional alcoholic drinks, ask for any person from any tribe, you will no regret.

When it comes to fruits and vegetables, Uganda takes the lead to all East African countries. While a big percentage of Uganda fruits are exported, much of Uganda fruits are left to lot .It is of recent that the government encouraged some investors to come and process those fruits for the international market but all the same, a lot is left to lot.

And for any one who has some little knowledge on how to process fruits, I encourage you to come to Uganda and start here your business. I will wait for your call to tell me that really what I wrote here today was true.
